This has definitely been done before, but I am not sure if it has been done through Excel/VBA.
I have a 9 or 10 digit telephone number, preceded by a zero and what I want to do is get Excel to figure out the combinations of text characters that will allow me to have a text phone number.
For Example:
0-800-43573375 is the same as 0-800-HELPDESK
Is it possible to format cells so that inputed tel. numbers are all have the same format and not just appear the same, regardless of how they were typed in?
i need it so the column can be sorded by phone #.
I have a limited amount of VBA knowledge. My limited knowledge is based on solving my problems by looking at the answers already on this site and trying to adapt it to my needs. Here goes:
I import a list of address and telephone numbers (100+) into excel. example - Cell A1 contains "10 downing street, whitehall, london, SW1A 2AA 01234 567890", sometimes there is another space after the number, sometimes there is no telephone number. I want to remove the telephone number at the end if it is there. Have searched the forums have have come up with the follow solution:
1. import list to column A
2. copy and paste Trim to column B
3. copy values in column B and paste to column A
4. delete column B
5. remove the end numbers
6. copy and paste Trim to column B
7. copy values in column B and paste to column A
8. delete column B
9. remove the end numbers
It looks like this in code:
Sub testa()
'select (=TRIM(A1)) formula and paste to sheet
Sheets("Formulas").Select
Columns("B:B").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Sheet4").Select
Columns("B:B").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
[Code]...
'copy values of column B to Column A and delete column B
Columns("B:B").Select
Selection.Copy
Columns("A:A").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Columns("B:B").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.ClearContents
Range("A1").Select
[Code]...
'copy values of column B to Column A and delete column B
Columns("B:B").Select
Selection.Copy
Columns("A:A").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Columns("B:B").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.ClearContents
Range("A1").Select
End Sub
I know this is a long winded way around (still chuffed I worked it out by myself though!). If I merge all the macros into one marco it continually loops and deletes everything in the cells and I have to press escape to stop it.
My questions are:
1. Why, when I merge all the macros doesnt it work the same as individual macros? (I would like to know for future reference).
2. Its there a better way to remove the telephone numbers?
I have a column that contains all telephone numbers without any spaces - 01234567890
I need to have at least one space inserted anywhere in the number i.e. 0 1234567890 or 01234 567890.
I have some cells which contain telephone number and some text data. They look like this.
(713) 555-4600 (Work)
(713) 555-4620 (Home)
(832) 555-4610 (John's Phone)
I need to strip out the text data and just display the phone number as follows
(713) 555-4600
(713) 555-4620
(832) 555-4610
I have a large data set (excel file), of "Names", "Phone Numbers", and i need to sort this based on the States that correspond with the Phone numbers. The states currently do not exist in the spreadsheet, so my current problem is trying to insert those states into the spreadsheet.
There are over 100 area codes in the data set, so i'll likely have to write a large "If" statement in VB to run through them all, but that shouldnt be a problem.
NAME, PHONE, STATE
Bleh, 555-555-5555, =ChkState(B2)
I've been playing around with the VB Stuff in Excel and this is what i've come up with for trying to insert the State field
Function ChkState(pVal As String) As Long
Dim AreaCode As String
Dim StateAbrv As String
AreaCode = Left(pVal, 3)
If AreaCode = "201" Then
StateAbrv = "Test201"
ElseIf AreaCode = "203" Then
StateAbrv = "Test203"
ElseIf AreaCode = "555" Then
StateAbrv = "Test555"
Else
StateAbrv = "0"
End If
MsgBox StateAbrv
End Function
I'm fairly new to this VB stuff, my main problem stems from trying to insert the "StateAbrv" back into the Cell for the spreadsheet.

I am dealing with several very large spreadsheets using VBA to do various things. I found that my code worked well, but was taking a long time to run.

What are the potential consequences of my turning calculations to manual and then back to auto?

The one thing that I have noticed about this website is the Privacy Report icon in the lower right status window (Picture of an eye with a restricted symbol in front). I don't know whether this is the cause of my problem, or purely an incidental observation.
Is there something peculiar with Google sites that means that the source code cannot be extracted in general, or is this an issue specific to my site ? Does the Privacy Report icon have any relevance, and if so how do I switch that off ?

My company has files that are already in use. I don't know too many details about how they work, but somehow saving the file will screw it up and my boss has to go back and reset something or other to correct it. Obviously it's connected to some other software somewhere. The code below will block Save and Save-As. BUT how do I get the file to hold onto the code without actually saving the file after the code is added (since the file shouldn't be saved)?

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
If SaveAsUI = False Then

I have some buttons in different sheets in an excel file, each button has its own code, that is the reason I can not move the code related to each object to another location (sheet or module).
And I have one piece of code in Module1 (Auto_load) in order to execute automatically this routine every time file is opened. Inside "auto_load" routine I initialize some values of some check buttons,options buttons and positions of some objects in diferent sheets, but I can not pass the value of variables between Module and Sheet's code even when I declare as public variables and/or function.

I'm trying to write a VBA script which will delete all rows in my Excel spreadsheet where Column I (which contains a status code) does not contain the word "Completed".
At the moment, I'm doing this the other way round: my script is able to search for entries in Column I which contain the status codes "Pending", "Awaiting Authorisation", "In Progress" etc and delete them. The idea is that when all those rows are deleted, I'll only be left with rows which have a status of "Completed". This works fine at the moment. However, the concern is that if a brand new status code is added to the data file, my script would be unable to pick it up and delete it. This is a small sample of the code I'm currently using (which deletes all the rows with statuses other than Completed):

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there a standard way to organize sections of code with code tags? Due to the nature of my work, there is a lot of documentation involved. And, my spreadsheets rely heavily on VBA. These code tag sections will be going into a design specification, so that there is a layer of traceability from the document to the program. These are the general sections or item numbers that I've come up with.
1. Dimensions and Variables
2. Data
3. Processing the Data
4. Rules of analysis
5. Analysis
6. Formatting

I have code that inserts columns, inserts formulas, and then copies the formulas to the last row of data. It all works good but for some reason, the columns that are being copied, are being copied past the last row of data. It can always be determined how far down it will be copied. Examples: if the last row of data was row 4, then the formulas would be copied down to row 24, if the last row of data was row 54, then the formulas would be copied down to 254, if the last row of data was row 284, then the formulas would be copied down to 2284. I can not figure out how and wh this is happening, but whatever the last row of actual data is on the spreadsheet, there is a 2 being placed in front of the last row of data and the formulas are being copied down to whatever the last row is with the addition of a 2 in front.
Here is the code for the columns additions, and formulas:
Columns("O:S").Insert Shift:=xlToRight
Columns("W:Z").Insert Shift:=xlToRight
Columns("AB:AF").Insert Shift:=xlToRight
Columns("AH:Al").Insert Shift:=xlToRight
Range("O2").FormulaR1C1 = "=CONCATENATE(RC[1],""/"",RC[2],""/"",RC[3])"
Range("P2").FormulaR1C1 = "=IF((RC[3]=7),LEFT(RC[-2],1),LEFT(RC[-2],2))"
Range("Q2").FormulaR1C1 = "=IF((RC[2]=7),MID(RC[-3],2,2),MID(RC[-3],3,2))"
Range("R2").FormulaR1C1 = "=RIGHT(RC[-4],4)"
Lets take this first one for example:
Range("O2:S2").Copy Range("O2:S2", Range("O2:S2" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row))
If the last row of data was row 54, then columns O:S would have the formulas copied down to row 254.
How can this code be modified so the formulas will not be copied past the last row of data?

When I started using VBA, all the code for each module was shown in the code window. This was a bit cumbersome when looking for one sub in particular. Now when I load VBA, all the Subs and Functions have their own page, and can be selected from the right hand drop down list. This is much easier for entering code, and finding subs. However, it is sometimes useful to see 'the big picture', so how do I swap between the two types of display?
